One end of spring of spring constant k is attached to the centre of a disc of mass m and radius R and the other end of the spring connected to a rigid wall. A string is wrapped on the disc and the end A of the string (as shown in the figure) is pulled through a distance a and then released. The disc is placed on a horizontal rough surface and there is no slipping at any contact point. What is the amplitude of the oscillation of the centre of the disc?

Answer»

a
2a
a/2
none of these

Solution :Displacement of the TOPMOST point of the disc = a
Disc undergoes rolling WITHOUT SLIPPING.
Hence the displacement of the CENTRE of the disc = a/2
Thus amplitude of the OSCILLATION of the centre of the disc = a/2
Hence (C ) is correct
